History: Forest Lakes Ski Area was a built in relation to housing
developments in the area. The area installed one J-bar that usually ran a half
speed because the hill catered to beginning-type snow riders. In 1983, the
Colorado Tramway Board was never paid for the lift inspection conducted on
the J-Bar. It is not clear why the area actually closed but factors like lack of
snow, skiers, and money were probably key factors.
